What did we all think of JON's first game back in a while?
Title: Re: JON
Post by: Judge Roughneck on April 25, 2009, 10:47:06 PM
not bad

JON > Pettifer

Post by: Chuck17 on April 25, 2009, 10:47:24 PM
Not too bad at all, quiet serviceable.  A few bad disposals in there but sounds like he he will never lose that aspect.

Still has a long long way to go though to "make it" in our side.

Post by: bojangles17 on April 25, 2009, 10:51:08 PM
certainly enough to be given another game, took a nice contested mark and made space well at times, we are crying out for forwards...though he could have had a couple of shots himself however unselfishly passed off...He was alright

Jon needs to be given an extended period in the seniors to show what he can do. He enjoyed tonights game as he contributed, i think the penny has dropped!

Just doesn't move like a footballer. Pleased he's earned a promotion, but not any more convinced he's going to make it.

He looked alright to me. Robin Nahas looked at sea in his first game but is gradually building his profile.
Seriously, some supporters only want to be right.

Post by: camboon on April 25, 2009, 11:14:38 PM
A little excited - he could just make it! He made a couple of time error mistakes but I loved the contested marking and passing in the forward line. Still needs to work on quicker decision making but JON you answere our prayers that you would step up tonight. Keep taking that next step - we are very proud of you.

Post by: the_boy_jake on April 25, 2009, 11:24:32 PM
Some important interventions which was nice. Certainly I think he is confident which is nice given he's been out of the picture for a while.

Such a lazy kick though. I thought at times he leant back and just popped the ball in the air in a Coughlan-esque manner.

Post by: Hellenic Tiger on April 25, 2009, 11:46:22 PM
Unfortunantely won't make it.
Maybe the players don't trust him at this level. Ran to space a couple of times and players neglected to give it to him.
I thought he did okay without being spectacular. Needs to do more to gain the trust of his teammates at this level. Nevertheless a good start and play him again next week.

Basically agree.
Kicked into the man TWICE.
Dropped 2 easy marks
And when inside F 50 on 3 seperate occassions, could of kicked goals but gave off to a player same distance out :banghead
Had his chance to have an impact on the game but didnt want to.
Credit where its due, he did present himself as a hit up target although was ignored on many occassions. When he did gain possesion, didnt have the confidence to have shot, as he probably realises he is a poor kick.
Agree with Tuckerbag, probably aint going to make it as he is a poor kick
Title: Re: JON
Post by: Francois Jackson on April 26, 2009, 09:29:32 AM
Believe it or not i actually was hoping he would do something special and kick a few goals.

For a minute i was feeling sorry for him but its not his fault, unfortunately he aint got what it takes to play AFL, simple as that.

Those kick in the man on the marks will he ever learn.

If it was anyone else those passes off would be labelled unselfish.   :sleep

And there was at least 3 of them that directly resulted in scores, mostly goals.

EXACTLY. JON HAD GREAT INFLUENCE ON THE GAME AND RESULT WITH HIS LIMITED DISPOSAL.
sure he made a couple of kicking blunders, but what about his fantastic repeat efforts to make up for it. Jon has attitude and i like him, he needs a little bit of time, he looks awkward so what, he has size, he is quick and mark my words, give the kid time to develop his body and he is the next adam goodes. watch this space!

as soon as he has the confidence in himself and his spot , those lilttle errors he makes will vanish!

well done jon

Dont want anyone to fail.
I want to see great footballers playing in the yellow and black.
JON should of kicked 3 goals last night and he didnt,
He could of stamped himself on the game,.
The problem is he cant kick and is found out with poor disposal at AFL level.
would of been better for him to kick 3 goals last night

GET OFF HIS BACK JACK, JON DID THE TEAM THING AND HONORED THE LEAD OF A FWD WHO FOUND HIMSELF IN A BETTER POSITION TO KICK FOR GOAL!

JON DID THE RIGHT THING, GET OFF HIS BACK

Not on his back at all.
Not my fault he cant kick.
Why play him as  a hit -up forward when he gets the ball  35 metres out directly in front , he wants to pass it FFS. :banghead :banghead :banghead
GO BACK AT KICK THE GOAL.
Mitch Morton and Reiwoldt dont have any issue  having shorts from 40-50 metres. straight in front
JON plays besides them and doesnt want to kick a goal :banghead PLEASE

Post by: Smokey on April 26, 2009, 12:59:48 PM

Disagree with this bit Jack.  One of Reiwoldt's 'current' faults is his lack of confidence and if you notice whenever he gets the ball 40+mts out he is always looking to pass off - might help explain his below standard conversion - I cringe every time I see any player look sideways as they are coming in to kick at goal.
Title: Re: JON
Post by: Smokey on April 26, 2009, 01:06:31 PM
My 2 bob on JON:

He showed enough to deserve a second chance.  In the past he has disappointed each time he has played seniors but last night there seemed to be 'something' to suggest he is worth another crack.  I liked some of the things he did - he still made some mistakes - but happy for him to front up again next week.  And to qualify this - I am not a JON fan and deep down I'm not convinced he will make it - but I don't want the club to die wondering.  Nahas did very little in his first crack but given a second chance and allowing for development and confidence he has shown some very good signs.  After last night's game JON, at the very least, deserves that.

Can't kick Jack...that's why he hit those targets with pin point accuracy in the forward 50!!!! You're right that Jack R doesn't mind having a shot...pity about his accuracy this year!

I know you're not a fan of Jarrad's (along with many other RFC 'supporters') but credit where credit's due...he gave us something last night...some spirit that's been sadly missing this year!

I had to stop watching at 3/4 time to go out, but every pass he made inside the forward 50 went to a player in a better position and none of them were turnovers. The only turnover I saw of his was getting smothered when running through the centre square.

I have to agree with Jak on a couple of things.

He should have kicked a couple BUT dished off due to lack of confidence,not cos he has poo disposal.

What i cant uinderstand is why the club has persisited with him for so long - he's done nothing.

Lets Face it,if he wasn't black he'd be GAWN.

thats why players like Schulz and Simmo should never get game time again till they put together a month of solid footy at Coburg.

i dont care if its Nahas, Jon or Connors. we need to play the kids and if those players cant play consistent footy then see you later

from what i saw last night i would rather play JON then Schulz. At least JON is always looking like he is trying

Actually thought it was his best game for the Tigers

He has been playing this type of hit up forward target role at Coburg since last year and he has played it very well.

I thought last night he again played the role well. I agree there were times his leads weren't honoured but is that his fault or the fault of his team mates? People are probably fair in saying that his team mates may lack confidence in him but given time and what he showed last night that should change.

The most pleasing thing that I saw was that when he made a mistake he buttered and tried to get the ball back to our advantage (defensive pressure inside 50 they call it I believe) rather than dropping his head like he has in the past

Yes he made a few mistake but hey the bloke who some are saying was BOG (Jackson D) turned it over a few times as well so some balance wouldn't go astray....

Just thought he seemed alot more at ease out there and his game reflected that... absolutely no reason for him to not hold his place for next week

Not a bad thing. Good for the like of Reiwoldt / Morton, as it opens up the forward line.

In the first couple years of his carrer he was stick thin.

He got hurt in one game a couple years ago going hard at a 50/50 ball - and broke and arm just because he was a skinny boy getting smacked against a man.

Maybe not near our best XXII, but he should be next week. He has could be handy as a forward flanker. Tall, fast, agile and very rangy.

definately deserves another game, he actually shoild have had a couple of shots at goal rather than pass off....we are desperate for another forward to come on, MM is attracting a better qty defender and not having same impact...would be a great dimension if JON could start to kick a few ...Id even try him at FF ::)

I agrre with Stripes,  hard to belive but thought he had little bit of Micheal Long in the way he played - yes I know he's no Micheal Long yet but I was proud of him with all the mud he has had to carry I belive he took the next step - has a faw steps to go yet, but I hope he suceeeds!

i am TOTALLY astounnded that some people think he played well. :banghead
Watched the replay again on One HD last night.
He made several significant errors , especially in the 3rd quarter, .
One of the many reasons the RFC is where is it ,as some players havent or more importantly cant "'step up to the plate""
Jarrod falls into the latter, as his kicking skills and decision making are very poor.
His kicking is extremely bad., especially in traffic and when in transition.
Positives for Jarrod that he was prepared to be the "'hit-up target"" although was afraid to kick when he did gain possesion.
Might be sum trade value and years end.
I say leave him in the team for another week, the alternative is to bring back Schulz, NO THANK YOU.

MMM, didnt notice the contested marking, forward pressue and precision passing to others in better position. If you think we should leave him in the team says volumes to me. He might fall in a heap but at face value it was pleaseing to see him compete. I must admitt those lead marks were very good . Anyway I hope he steps up again this week.

Er are we watching the same game? Played well in the 2nd qtr, drifted out of it in the 2nd half but did not see much of him.
He'll get another game unless Browny is fit - which TBH is not that fair, Browny needs some reserves time.

like someone mentioned before re: Browny thinks he is too good for Coburg.

This is why being Wallace favourite pet i expect he will come straight into the seniors and they just aint right.

regarding JON he showed nice glimpses i agree with you there and as i said he wasn't our worst but gee we need to rebuild further if that is our depth.

For the limited time he got on the ground he did OK. Certainly not as good as last week but he certainly wasn't our worst (that would go to the bloke in number 20 but back to the topic)

I will be interested to see what the replay shows because I am sure it wouldn't show his work off the ball

7 kicks in a game of football hardly warrants getting a game the following week.
of course you unfairly don't mention his 5 handballs, but that wouldn't help your position.
Anyway, using your criteria of  needing 7 kicks to warrant a game next week, then Moore (5k), Morton (5k),Graham (5k), Rance (2k) and Nahas (6k) all won't be selected. :'(

If Jack snapped teh ball over his head and we levelled the score. The game turned into a draw. We woudln't be eating our own "again" this week. So for mine lets focus on next week, we play like we did yesterday and we beat Brisbane no matter what the show up as.

Brown must play VFL football if Cousins had too

7 kicks in a game of football hardly warrants getting a game the following week.
of course you unfairly don't mention his 5 handballs, but that wouldn't help your position.
Anyway, using your criteria of  needing 7 kicks to warrant a game next week, then Moore (5k), Morton (5k),Graham (5k), Rance (2k) and Nahas (6k) all won't be selected. :'(

How much game time did JON get?  I think he spent a portion on the bench but could be wrong.

hey Gordon, and thats why the RFC doesnt play finals footy very often.
It continually accepts ordinary efforts.
JON played 71% of the match.
Tell you something as well.
WE MUST KEEP TURNING OVER PLAYERS AND FIND MATCH WINNERS, not duds. His kicking is terrible, will never ever be a match winner
we have one player who can turn a game, he is retiring at years end. :banghead
If anyone can name me another player, go right ahead.

Ummm...Cousins has been a match winner all his career, Cotchin has the potential to be one, Deledio, Brown...and i didnt know you thought Richo was retiring at the end of the year....

Not that I have had the chance to see the game but from what is being said I would have to side with Jack.

exactly Jack. Unfortunately some the managment at our club think along the same lines of these posters, hence why we have played in 2 finals in nearly 30 years.

JON although was not our worst on the weekend is not up to this level and by playing him is a complete waste of time.

He will not be part of our future. In saying that he would be probabaly be good for the Eagles or Freo.

Its probabaly our development that has stuffed him up. Having no set position wouldn't have helped.

Anyone seen Zac Dawson lately. Playing good footy with the Saints. I bet if he was at Punt Road he would be the same old Zac Dawson

Took some good marks, missed a third of the game and tried hard and as was mentioned wasn't our worst. Made some mistakes (sure)but should get another shot next week. I don't believe the SCG is the best ground for his type of game and if he was a first year player which he effectively is we would be more generous.

Anyway off I go to the Tambling post to give him a good old vent of my spleen (LOL).

greatest waste of space since Richard Lounder.
When he gets possesion, has no idea what to do with it, and his kicking is the worst in the league.
Listening to nathan buckley yesterday, he couldnt beleive how poor his skills were and he said he wasnt up to the standards of AFL.
I cant wait for certain genius posters on here to defend this clown again.
1st round pick in a draft, you must be joking.
His first 6 kicks yesterday , 5 were turnovers
Buckley was giggling  :lol

i dont enjoy us losing with players missing targets by foot from 20 metres away.
If you like losing and watching crap footy, keep playing him and keep losing :thumbsup
pretty simple

Hey Jack, like to meet up with you to make sure your not really Tim Lane or one of the other true Carlton loving pretending to be neutral jurnos! Can anyone vouch for Jack!

Well, that will probably be the end for JON now that he is dropped.

Barring sustained excellent form for Coburg we probably wont see him back this year.

Would have to be on the chopping block for sure, dont think anyone would trade for him.

Jack is a very loyal Richmond supporter & hurting just as much as us all
having worked in the AFl ranks for several clubs including Richmond his seen alot more going on than most others & says it as it is
What he has said about Richmond is exactly how they are traveling
He supports the club passionately & wants to see certain changes like us all especialy our onfield skills & better coaching performances
so l will vouch for Jamie that his a genuine Tiger supporter  ;D

Jack is a real person  ;D

I can vouch for Jack - he is definitely a Richmond person, see him at games regularly and we even say hello to one another, rather than trying to clock one another.  ;D

It may appear that he isn't a Richmond supporter but he is (and no I am not saying it through gitted teeth).

These days he and I rarely agree but guess what that's life.

That's not quite right what we dont agree on is the how what we do agree on is we both want to see the RFC successful

All I want is too see the RFC win another premiership and be successful.
Rightfully or wrongfully, I have witnessed first hand knowledge of what has occurred over a period of time at punt road, and it aint right.
We have people in positions down there that are incomponent, and or , dont know what there doing.
RFC doesnt have the correct recipe for succuss in MY OPINION and I will stand by that.
Using an internet forum to vent my disappointment is probably not the correct thing in my situation, as I am more than a supporter.
I love Richmond with a passion.
More than a lot of people think.
I will say this, the way our club is run compared to others is extremely poor, has been for ages and still is, thus success will not come our way for a long time. things will need to change
